Kane overtakes Lineker as England tournament's top scorer

Harry Kane surpassed Gary Lineker as England's all-time leading goalscorer in major tournaments with his effort against Senegal.

The Tottenham striker scored the second of his side's goals in Sunday's 3-0 win at Al Bayt Stadium as the Three Lions staged a Qatar 2022 quarter-final with France.

It was Kane's first goal at this year's tournament and he took his World Cup tally to seven in 10 appearances, having won the Golden Boot in Russia four years ago.< /p>

The striker also netted four times for England in their run to the Euro 2020 final last year, 11 goals in major competitions - one more than Lineker managed.

The 29-year-old is now one goal away from equaling Wayne Rooney (53) as England's all-time top scorer, with Kane's 52 goals in 79 caps.
